    Description

    Marantz Model 2130 Stereo Tuner
    Very Rare Top of the Line in it's day. Only 1500 Produced.
    I have listed as "Parts or Repair" as is, there are a few things that need repair that I will describe.
    Condition wise, not bad considering, normal minor nicks and scuffs (see all photos for condition).
    Could use some cleaning.
    Was found with a Dolby DLB-1 installed, I have listed that in a separate auction.
    Will need a Dolby back door (currently there are some for sale here from other sellers).
    The Plastic bezel for the Dolby decoder is broken, I still have the 2 small plastic pieces that have broken, someone could epoxy these back together or find a donor unit to replace.
    Also, the AM antenna arm is completely missing.
    The front panel lights need replacing.
    When I tested this unit, I found all other features appear to be working as they should, including the most important scope.
    I found no scratchy contacts. The tuning wheel is fairly smooth.
    I live in a place that does not have local radio stations (Clarkdale, AZ). I have tested several tuners here and this one by far pulls in more radio stations, very strong tuner.
    I have included a short video to show the tuner operating.
    Sold as found needing some minor repairs, as with all vintage audio, this unit may benefit from a service/recap to be back to specs..
    Will be packaged with care, see feedback.
